19th Annual Access Film Music Showcase: Park City's Hub for Music and Film Collaboration

As the cinematic energy pulses through Park City, Utah with the concurrent Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals, the Access Film Music Showcase marks its 19th return this month, creating a vibrant platform for music and film to converge. Both emerging and seasoned musical talents will have the unique opportunity to interface with filmmakers, potentially setting the score for future cinematic endeavors.

Connecting Music with Visual Arts

The Access Film Music Showcase is more than just an event; it's a five-day musical cornucopia set against the backdrop of Film Festival Week. From January 23 to January 27, The Cabin at 427 Main Street is transformed into a creative nexus for musicians, composers, and creators. Promising an atmosphere ripe for collaboration, this event is pivotal in marrying the perfect soundtracks with visual stories waiting to be told.

What's in Store at the Showcase?

Genres aplenty, the showcase flaunts a rich tapestry of musical styles including rock, pop, Americana, country, blues, and folk. Amidst this mix, Utah's own talent takes the stage alongside artists from across the United States and Europe. All performances at the Access Film Music Showcase are open to the public, uniquely offering attendees a chance to immerse themselves in music without the prerequisite of festival credentials.

Highlight Events and Performances

The showcase kicks off on Tuesday, January 23, with 'Songwriters In-the-Round' followed by individual sets by Burton Hurner and Clint Alpin. Throughout the week, other prominent figures such as Bill McGinnis, Mark Monroe Gibson, Christopher Hawley’s Rollers, and Chicago Mike's InterGalactic Brother & Sisterhood of Big-Eyed Beans will take the stage, culminating in an array of scheduled performances.

Empowering Artistic Growth

Beyond performances, the 'Music, Movies, & Money Workshop' on Saturday, January 27, stands out as a remarkable opportunity for musicians to dive into the intricacies of sync licensing. This free workshop provides insights into music placements within films, TV, video games, and commercials, helping artists understand how to navigate and secure opportunities in these avenues.
